Sunday's Sound Off

To the person commenting about five pages of sheriff sales, if I counted correctly, it was 39 properties up for sheriff sale and there were only 14 job opportunities in the paper the same day. So you say thank you Democrats, I just say no thank you.

To the 90-year-old lady who had problems with DirecTV, you are not alone. They installed the dish at the end of August at our house, we were unhappy with the installation, called that day and two days later another gentleman came out and told us that was a standard installation. We called them two days later, cancelled the service, shipped the equipment back and three months later they charged my credit card $420. I am now pursuing legal action.

I hope everybody saw the opinion page on Tuesday. It’s called “Gun control for dummies.” It shows a law-abiding citizen with a gun and a criminal with a gun before the new law. Then after the new law it shows the law-abiding citizen without his gun but the criminals still have their guns. That is so the truth. You really think the criminals can’t get guns even with the new laws in effect? It’s only us law-abiding citizens who won’t have anything to defend ourselves with.

I was driving through the Phoenixville area and someone had prominently displayed “Registration for Upper Providence Little League.” The Phoenixville programs have been around forever and it makes no sense that people in Phoenixville would be recruiting youngsters to go play in the Upper Providence Little League. I think people have their priorities out of line when it comes to youth sports.

In regards to the glass doors on the fireplace, yes pickle juice works very good because it has vinegar. One of your best cleaners all around organic is one cup of distilled vinegar, one cup of ammonia into one gallon of water. This will clean just about everything. Most of your cleaners have ammonia or vinegar. If you don’t like the smell of ammonia, just use plain vinegar. And if you don’t like the smell of vinegar, it’s up to you.

MR. CLEAN

I watched Hillary Clinton testify in front of the Senate on the attack on Libya and all I can say is “ladies and gentlemen I give you the next president of the United States, Hillary Clinton.”

To the person who stated that the $25,000 figure is double the pension of regular workers, I doubt that, and if it is true, it’s probably because they didn’t contribute any money towards their own pension, the company paid for it. Teachers now contribute in the vicinity of 7 percent of their pay towards their pension and rightfully get more money than I do because I contributed 5 percent.

If anyone receives a call from 516-204-4169, it is a scam. They are offering 150,000. If you can see it on your phone first, don’t bother to answer.

I see that the Spring-Ford School Board is holding a meeting to be allowed to increase the school real estate taxes. I can’t believe this. The teachers must get their high salaries and pensions while the taxpayers are losing their homes. How greedy can you get? I can’t believe they’re asking to raise our taxes again above the 1.7 percent. What are they doing? Heaven help us.

Could someone please put in the number for the Do Not Call line for all these unwanted calls.

Financial downswing of Wall Street during the mortgage crisis. Not one person was convicted and the investigation didn’t reach the higher executives. Obama was president and Eric Holder was the attorney general. Sound familiar? And they got bail outs. Stupid us.

For the retired teacher getting a pension of $25,413.96, I happened to work in a UAW unionized plant for over 37 years and I’d like you to know that your pension is nearly 2.5 times the amount that I receive. I notice that you also forgot to mention any health care you receive from being a teacher. Mine is zero. So in final words, count your blessings.

This is a big shame to the guy who lost his credit cards and money in Freed’s parking lot. He should count himself lucky. My friend found that and being an honest person she turned it into the manager. The guy came in like a hotshot and never even thanked her for it. Maybe next time you won’t be so lucky. You know the old saying, finders keepers.

This cold snap that we’re having pays off. Tuesday it was so cold in Harrisburg I actually saw a politician with his hands in his own pocket.

The global warming theory is one big lie, a fraud that is being perpetrated by a bunch of radical leftists who seek to impose their socialist communist world view upon the west.
